Do these produce good downward-directional lighting (EG, good for overhead chandeliers)?

I put mine in a 6 lamp overhead fixture with the bases down over our dinette table and they provide excellent light to t house edge entire table.

It depends on the angle it is positioned. If vertical it doesn't produce as much as conventional incandescent bulbs but most lightbulb fixtures block a lot of the downward light anyway and most of the light is focused upward where this bulb also does well. Slightly dimmer than conventional incandescent by about 20%.

The bulb is comparable to an incandescent bulb. I used them for an outside light by the garage door. It looks the same as the old use of incandescent bulb.

If the threaded base is pointed up, yes. Otherwise, they are good, but not great.

Yes- I did that for my 2001 Pontiac Bonneville. There is no "up" or "down" orientation to the relector or lens, so you don't need to reverse them like on some rectangular style lamps. These are so bright (as-is) that I didn't bother to throw in 100w halogen bulbs like I have on many other auxiliary lamps. Very happy with the light pattern too: I see much better to the side of the road- far enough ahead for safe visibility at highway speeds on winding roads.

Yes! We have them hung with the lights pointing down, and have had no problems with them.

Yes. They can be raised and lowered. The tilt on the head for the angle of light is also adjustable.

They point pretty directly at something and not a broad spectrum of light. I put one on my ceiling, which comes down at an angle, over a small Christmas tree, with ornaments and no lights which was sitting on top of a toy chest. It was not enough light for it and had to lay 2 more on the toy chest under the tree and that helped. I'd say NO to your question. The one I put on the ceiling left a hole which had to be patched when removed. If you're putting light directly over one item, then they might work for you. They are very directional.

Yes, but I switched them out with the following bulbs, "110V 7W Dimmable GU10 LED Bulb - 5000K Daylight LED Spotlight - 50W Equivalent GU10 Base - 450 Lumen 36 Degree Beam Angle for Home, Recessed, Accent, Track Lighting" from Torchstar. Not only are the purchased bulbs LED, but they use less power, and dont put off the same level of heat. Also, they put out a much whiter light, which enhances the look of the chandelier in my opinion.

Yes they do. You can swivel them completely around for either direct or indirect lighting.

They don't point down but give off great light. I have at least 6 of them. Theyregreat.

Hello, this specific chandelier does not have a down-light. Currently our only rectangular shaped chandelier has down-lights. We do have many options though, so please take a look as we likely have one or several that meet your needs. Thanks Muskoka Lifestyle Products Dot Com

Yes, each light can be moved/tilted to direction needed. Each light is stationary on the bar. I am very happy with this fixture. They are very small can but put out lots of light.

They point upwards. I think they have one LED in each light. They are very bright; don't worry about that part. The only issue I have with it is durability since one of my three lights was corroded by the battery. Although in my state it gets very cold. (Midwest)

Most led fixtures are directional but these have at least a 35 degree angle.

If you don't mind indirect light in a room you could. Personally I prefer the softer effect of indirect lighting over an overhead.

Yes, I replaced my overhead WC and hallway lights with these and they are very bright. FYI these are also available at HD in a 6" version, I bought these on amazon because they seem to have stopped carrying the 4". Great "less expensive" led alternative when you don't want to spend the money on recessed can lights.

Not in my estimation. But that being said, there is no such thing as "too bright" in a garage like work place. I'm not 20 anymore. YMMV. I did have a 50% instantaneous failure rate (the fan quit working) on the two I ordered. In free standing, downward facing open fixtures I'd think that'd be the BEST application for these lamps. Anything enclosed, not so much. They appear to be a first attempt and as such, I think they'll get the kinks out.

They are more omni directional in my opinion. The entire frosted bulb area gives off light in all directions. With that said, the Cree does an even better job of this in my opinion because the frosted bulb area is larger.

The lights work fine in my chandelier, not overly bright. I would have no reason to believe they would not work just as well in a ceiling fan. I am very satisfied with the bulbs.
